David O'Leary Posted 15 September 2007 Posted 15 September 2007 Don't know if this has been posted already but... Wigan and England striker Emile Heskey has suffered a suspected broken metatarsal and has been sent to hospital for X-rays on his toe. Heskey was forced off after only nine minutes of the 1-1 draw with Fulham. The 29-year-old striker had been given a standing ovation by both sets of fans as he took to field in recognition of his superb recent England performances. But he may now be ruled out for three months - only days after ending three years in the international wilderness. If the injury is confirmed to be a broken metatarsal, Heskey will miss England's next two Euro 2008 qualifiers, at home to Estonia and away to Russia, in October. England coach Steve McClaren will, however, have Wayne Rooney available again after the striker returned to Manchester United's squad on Saturday after recovering from his own metatarsal injury.
Sparky Posted 15 September 2007 Posted 15 September 2007 unlucky for the lad , rooney back but id like to see ashton in the squad as a different option
Simi Posted 15 September 2007 Posted 15 September 2007 Awful timing for the man. This really does make McLarens decsion for him, would of been interesting to see if he would of left Rooney out.
Koke Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 Awful timing for the man.This really does make McLarens decsion for him, would of been interesting to see if he would of left Rooney out. Leave Rooney out? Not a fooking chance. More chance of Gary Lineker having sexual intercourse with Ray Hudson.
Geo V Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 Gutted for the lad. I cant see any confirmation of the injury so lets hope its not as serious as first thought.
Flynny Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 Bugger. Rooney will probably still end up playing on the left next match though. Just means that Crouch or Ashton will play instead.
Joe. Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 Balls. I just get the feeling he'll find it hard to get back into the first team again. We'll see I guess....
Father Ted Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 Breaking news on SSN. Out for 6 weeks. It could have been 12 weeks but i feel sorry for the guy.
AyewJoking Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 Dont worry, Crouch can play the target man knocking balls on for Owen and......................................................................argh, were screwed.
Tommeh Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 Easy get out now for Mclaren, Hopefully Heskey will be back, one day
Nationwider Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 It's a pity because he made a few so-called experts in the national press eat their own words this week... ....AND NOW IT'S SO BAD EMILE IS SET TO PLAY Emile Heskey, what a week he's had......superb! Hopefully Rooney and Ashton can get some games behind them, or McClaren will have to turn to Leo Fortune-West and Mark Stallard as the only two remaining fit strikers left on Earth.
